Greetings,

My friend and I are starting to produce our own line of high flow hand built mufflers for a range of applications. We are currently working on a side exhaust kit for our S197 GTs. Yes, the exhaust pipes will dump out in front of the rear tires.

We are still in the development stage, but I wanted to see how many of you would be interested in such a kit if it were sold for about $450.00. The price is also a work in progress, I do not believe it will move very much.

Thanks for the feedback.
 
I think there will indeed be an interest in it as Cervinis is the only kit to my knowledge that offers side exhaust. However, the rear bumper lacking the exhaust tips will look strange so its a deterrent from people getting side exhaust, having to spend extra for a new bumper or the look of no mufflers back there
 
I alway loved the 2000 Cobra R side exhaust.....something like that in chrome or black would be great. Will you offer applications for LTs also?

i've got a V6, looking to convert to duals with side exhaust. if youre looking for a car later on for measurements, i'd be willing to work something out with y'all
 
Look into Dr. Gas boomtubes. Something in that vein would be pretty sick if you ask me.

i want the side exhaust for my car but Cervinisis expensive
but i guess im going to have to wait to c what u come up with

but it sounds like u have a plan
 
I had side exhaust in my 2000 and if you are lowered its a pain in the a$$! No speed bumps.
 
My car is lowered and it is a PITA at times already. I do like side exhaust, but I would perfer to pop mine through the sheet metal. I think my wife would kill me if I did though because she already complains about how loud it is. I even put cats back on it.

Everyone, I have great news. I finally had a chance to finish up the side exhaust system for my 2009 Mustang GT, will fit 2005-2009 possibly 2010. Please take a look at the photos below and let me know what you think. If anyone is interested please email me at skovar@kovardesign.com

I will upload a video as soon as I can. The sound is pretty smooth, throaty, yet aggressive. Power wise, the car seems to have more torque. As you may have have noticed, I have wrapped the "tail pipes" in thermal exhaust wrap. This was done in order to prevent heating the fuel lines that run down the drivers side of the unibody. There is about 1.5 inches between the tail pipes and the fuel lines. There are no ground clearance issues, I have had the system on my car for the past week while driving through down town Atlanta, parking garages and speed bumps.

Is this exhaust/muffler homemade ?
Is the exhaust made of mild steel or stainless steel?
What size are the pipes out from the muffler? (ie: 2" ,2.5" ect..)

Your car doesnt look lowered so how much clearance is there at stock height?
 
those look stealthy lol. cant wait to hear the vid

Everything is home made, it is our own muffler designer inside and out. The muffler and tips are made from mild cold rolled steel, and painted with a high temp paint. In and out of the muffler are 2.5 (stock size).

Yes, my car is stock height. The muffler is partially tucked into the transmission tunnel. Minimum ground clearance is 3.75in, which is at the outboard end of the exhaust pipes end near the tips. This is easily correctable by starting the ovaling of the pipe to tip connection farther inboard.

The system uses existing mounting bolts, no new holes had to be drilled and no welding done on the car. The tail pipes are attached at the center bolt that holds the plastic baffles under the car.
